A review by tshrope
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

3.0

The fact that I liked the first half of this book. The fact that I thought it was original and I could relate to the stream of consciousness of random thoughts and stories. The fact that there is so much repetition that the book could have been 20 hours of audio instead of 42 hours if you take out most of the repetition. The fact that I understand the repetition shows what her obsessions are. The fact that I don't think we need 500 extra pages of the same repetitions to prove the point. The fact that I speeded this up the audio book 2x's to get through it. The fact that this needed a better editor and it would have been DUCKY!
